Hi, we are working on unifying them. Thanks.

On the server there aren’t any helpers to do that. On the client there are.

Please give me a log file so i can investigate.

Is there a better way? The main concern is the URL is being constructed by me, I was hoping there was an API i could call to get it.

I put the file in Emby-Server\programdata\plugins but impossible after to open the menu Extension. When I delete the file watchpartyforemby.dll, it is OK again.

uh pretty sure it does this by default, and has for years. There is even official documentation on this. https://emby.media/support/articles/Run-as-Windows-Service.html

Emby Users, I have been searching for a way to enable Emby to run as a service, and today I found the answer. It's actually very simple. Command: Replace YourServiceName with the name of your service. (As seen below I named mine EMBY) sc create "YourServiceName" binPath= "C:\Path\To\YourApp.exe" PATH: Replace USERNAME with your username (If the default Installation folder was changed, you will need to locate the correct path) C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\EmbyServer.exe CREATING THE SERVICE Run Command prompt as administrator Run these 2 commands in order. 1) sc create "Emby" binPath= "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\EmbyServer.exe" 2) sc config "Emby" start= auto Restart your computer DO NOT LOGIN Wait a few minutes after the login prompt appears and test access from another device.

You'll probably need to turn this back on.

Nice to hear. Btw sorry, never got around to uploading here either, been a busy day. Anyway.. Thank you as well, i'm glad you like the plugin!

If you setup Caddy, that's not likely how you set it up. Try 443 in the app...

the app shows 8920 I have other changed the default on the server

Hi I started implementing an Emby plugin for showing immich photos. I was wondering what's the best strategy when immich has different users. Is it possible to ... - create per-user settings? - en-/disable this plugin on a per-user base - use any photo related classes in the SDK. Like e.g. tvheadend plugin does and registers as a live-tv source, but as photo. Is there something on the roadmap regarding photo plugins? B.t.w thanks for Emby. Really a great piece of software that just works.

Hi team, I am experiencing an issue on Emby Server 4.9.5.0 where Live TV streams and their background transcode processes (ffmpeg) fail to close after a remote client disconnects or crashes during live playback. Issue Description: When a client stops/closes Live TV abruptly, the Emby Dashboard correctly updates to show 0 active sessions. However, the server does not terminate the input stream from the tuner nor the underlying ffmpeg process. As a result, Emby continues downloading the stream endlessly in the background, keeping the tuner on TVHeadend completely locked and unnecessarily consuming system resources. Technical Observations: Network Analysis: Running tcpdump on the server shows active TCP traffic between TVHeadend (localhost:9981) and Emby (localhost:60042). Emby continues to send TCP ACKs to TVHeadend, reading the stream into a local buffer/transcoder even though no active client session exists in the Emby UI. Tuner Types Tested: Tested with both HDHomeRun emulation mode and M3U Tuner mode from TVHeadend. The orphaned socket/process behavior occurs in both configurations. Kernel Keep-Alive: Tuned OS TCP keep-alive settings (tcp_keepalive_time = 60), but since Emby is actively ACKing the packets from TVHeadend, the TCP connection is seen as healthy by the OS and is never dropped. Transcoding: Inspection of the process table shows an orphaned ffmpeg instance spawned by Emby that continues to run indefinitely for the Live TV stream. Server Environment: Emby Server Version: 4.9.5.0 OS: Ubuntu Server 26.04 LTS Tuner Backend: TVHeadend (running on the same host) Steps to Reproduce: Start playing a Live TV channel on a remote client. Force-close the client app or simulate a abrupt network disconnect on the client side. Observe the Emby Dashboard: the active session disappears. Check TVHeadend / system processes (ss -tpn | grep 9981 or pgrep ffmpeg): the stream connection remains open and continues to pull data indefinitely. It seems that the cancellation token / process teardown for the ffmpeg pipeline and the tuner reader object is not being triggered upon client session termination. I have attached the embyserver.txt log file for review, no ffmpeg-transcode-* is generated for this specific issue.. Thanks in advance for your help! embyserver-3.txt

I finally found it in the catalog (I was looking into Github...) It works well now. Thanks again for your responsiveness and good work.

Thanks!

There is a whole section for feature request. However, maybe mod/Dev can just move this post to that section. @Luke@ebr@GrimReaper

Traxx Tester 1.0.14 Update Thanks for the latest diagnostic reports. This update includes: Fixed a crash when selecting a song from the Songs list, especially with very large music libraries. Improved playback queue handling to reduce memory usage while retaining the complete queue. Improved the speed and reliability of large library synchronisations. Library changes now update only the affected items instead of reloading the entire library. Interrupted library synchronisations can now resume more reliably. Removed the Shuffle button from the main Albums and Artists pages. Shuffle remains available on the Songs page and within album or artist details. Reduced unnecessary background work and diagnostic log noise. The test period lasts 14 days from the first installation. Installing an update over an existing or expired Traxx Tester app does not restart this period. To start a new 14-day test period, uninstall the existing Traxx Tester app before installing this update. You will need to sign in to Emby again. app-mobile-beta.apk

It should be in the catalog inside emby if you choose beta. I'm home in an hour, then I can upload it here for you if you want

I understand. You have done and continue to do a fantastic job. But I feel silly because I can't find any beta versions...

Testing it again when i click cancel i am just left with the Emby logo in the middle of the screen and nothing happens, left it for 10minutes before closing the app. If i don't hit cancel it took 7minutes before the select server option came up

Hi For medias servers it has always been a complicated subject the backup considering size of volumes most of time. On mine I have always used raidz2 to minimize risks of major failures because volume is way too large to be "backupable" (300To). Now with insane prices of hard drive and their lack of avalaibility, I have decided to give up and shut down my server that I was running since 20 years as it's no more manageable now with Hard drives unable to source plus the insane prices of them

I tried the new app and the first time I started the episode the audio started with a black screen and then the app completely crashed. When I retried a second time the episode did play. I can upload the server logs when I get home. However I do prefer the look and feel of the Android TV app so it would be great if that one could play these episodes as well.

Hello why there are 2 versions of Emby available: Android & Android TV? Which one should be considered on a TV Set with Google TV? Because i have installed Android TV version and the app adviced me to install Android version to benefit the most advanced features! Strange. Thanks

I get the reason, but the implementation is very poor. You have created more of an annoyance than was caused by the problem you were trying to fix. Give the thing time to load first!
